Paperback. Rivals forced to cooperate Enemies to lovers Forced proximity One bed Shared traumaLian Varga was forged in fire and violence. Used as a weapon by a system he now plans to destroy from within, he lives on the edge, where every blow is a reminder that he still exists. Dante Moretti, the impeccable captain of the Black Kings, built his own prison under a perfect uniform. Behind his rigid discipline lies a man who became exactly what the machine demanded to survive.When Lian is forced onto Dante's team, the collision is inevitable. It's not just the brutal rivalry on the ice; it's the dangerous recognition in each other's eyes off it. What starts as a contest of power and physical endurance quickly spirals into an obsessive psychological game of provocation and control.Forced to operate within a structure that tests their absolute physical and emotional limits, Lian and Dante discover they are more valuable together than apart. But in a system that does not tolerate uncontrolled bonds, they become direct targets. Pushed into a web of manipulation and calculated confrontations, they must decide: succumb to the logic that wants them isolated or transform their attraction into an open war against everything that built them."The system could try to separate them, break them, or reconfigure them. But it couldn't own them anymore." This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

About the Author
Vítor Zindacta é um escritor, editor e desenvolvedor brasileiro, cuja atuação profissional transita entre a inovação tecnológica e a profundidade da narrativa literária contemporânea. Com uma carreira marcada pela versatilidade, estabeleceu-se como uma voz ativa na promoção da literatura nacional e no desenvolvimento de soluções técnicas para o mercado editorial.
Como autor, dedica-se à exploração de temas complexos e urgentes, com foco em géneros como o romance psicológico, o suspense e o romance MM (Male/Male). As suas obras, como A Geometria do Caos, Linha de Colisão e Herdeiros do Pecado, frequentemente abordam questões de identidade, direitos civis, dinâmicas familiares e a busca pela autenticidade em ambientes de pressão social. Além da ficção, Zindacta possui um interesse profundo pela neurodiversidade e pelo impacto da indústria alimentar na saúde mental, temas que fundamentaram títulos como Beyond the Label: The Food Industry's War on Your Brain e ADHD from A to Z.
No âmbito editorial, exerce a função de editor-chefe do portal Post Literal e é o organizador e anfitrião da Rádio Literal, plataformas onde promove o debate literário e a divulgação de novos autores. A sua paixão pelos clássicos da literatura moderna, especialmente pela obra de Virginia Woolf, influencia tanto a sua curadoria de conteúdo quanto o rigor estético da sua escrita.
Paralelamente à sua produção literária, Zindacta atua como desenvolvedor front-end, especializando-se em arquiteturas XML voltadas para a digitalização e estruturação do mercado de livros. Esta dualidade entre o código e a palavra permite-lhe uma compreensão única sobre a distribuição e monetização digital em plataformas como Amazon e Wattpad.
Atualmente, continua a expandir o seu alcance literário com projetos voltados para o mercado internacional, mantendo o compromisso de criar narrativas que desafiem o status quo e ofereçam uma representação honesta da experiência humana.
